Manhattan Cocktail

Contributed by Cocktails 2006
  • SERVINGS: MAKES 8 DRINKS

Employees Only, New York City

This Manhattan reflects the recipe in America's first cocktail book, 1862's The Bon Vivant's Companion, by Jerry Thomas. It calls for more vermouth than rye—the opposite of the modern Manhattan.
